FAQs
Why is this happening, and what are the high-level program changes?
As outlined at VMware Explore 2023, Broadcom and VMware are shifting their portfolio strategy to align with market and industry trends for how customers want to and consume our software-defined data center (“SDDC”) stack. VMware is moving away from perpetual-licensed offerings to subscription and term-based SaaS offerings, as well as consolidating the portfolio to make it simpler for our customers to consume solutions. As a major component of this model shift and portfolio simplification, VMware’s Cloud Services Provider program – Partner Connect, will be terminated and Cloud Service Providers will be invited into the new program being set up under the Broadcom Advantage Partner Program. VMware Cloud Foundation (“VCF”) will be the primary offering available in the new program. With VCF, customers can experience a consistent and simplified cloud experience regardless of where they consume VMware products.
When will the program changes begin to occur?
Existing contracts with VMware will continue through April 30, 2024. The last rental usage period will be through March 31, 2024, and bookings must be closed by April 15, 2024. Partners will be invited and/or qualified to join the new business program model starting in early 2024. As we roll out the new program during the first calendar quarter of 2024, partners will begin to transition their customers, which we expect to occur through May 2024.
What is the transition period?
The transition period will last from December 2023 through April 30, 2024. Partners will receive more information soon about the new Cloud Services program at Broadcom.
